When everyone was playing blues beats, he was playing (what we now call) "Linear Beats". That means that you don't ever hit two things on the drumset at the same time... and its BEYOND crazy that he would think to do it, BEYOND crazy how much it worked, and REALLY FUCKING BEYOND CRAZY that people think he was the 'weak link' of that band!!!!

[@stlmopoet]

Strawberry Fields was a children's home in Liverpool. He played on the grounds of the place when he was a boy. He could relate to the orphans (though someone told me it was closed by the time Lennon played there, he knew the place's history) because his father abandoned John when he was 3. And his mother often sent him to his aunt Mimi's place. His mother was hit and killed by a vehicle, then John lived permanently with Aunt Mimi. The song seems to be about the confusion of childhood loss, how memories jumble, how you're not sure who to blame, how you pretend to be somewhere else. It's a confused jumble of lyrics at any rate. It's a genius song. Many consider it his best work.

John lived with Aunt Mimi long before that. As for the phrase in the song "and nothing to get hung about," it was a reference to an argument he had with his aunt when he was a child. She had told him to stop breaking into Strawberry Field to play and he had replied, "They can't actually hang me for it!"

[@samuelmregister]

your reaction is probably not dissimilar to those listening for the first time in 1967.

[@RadCenter]

Long after this song was written, a section of Central Park in New York City was named Strawberry Fields in honor of John Lennon, who lived in the Dakota Apartment Building across the street. When Lennon was shot, mourners flocked to the park to pay their respects.

Imagine growing up in the sixties and putting a pair of stereo headphones or sitting in front of some quality stereo speakers and hearing this type of production mix for the first time. At the time many home entertainment centers were still monophonic which doesn't do justice to the album mix, but once you got a stereo turntable and amp, your world suddenly changed with mind-blowing mixes like this. The Beatles were ahead of their time in production.

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

[@quixote6942]

John Sang it. In the Mish Mash Following the song, you can hear a voice saying something like "I buried Paul"... There was a Rumor Running around that Paul had Been Killed in a Car Crash Crash and was replaced by a Doppelganger. The Beatles left almost 200 "Clues" In their Songs and Album Covers.

You will find hardly any "throwaway" songs on any of the albums. Every album has at least 5 or 6 classic gems.

[@ericwilliams1031]

This song was recorded in two different tempos then the faster one was slowed down to match the other then synched together in the final recording.

Great reaction. You cant lose with the Beatles.

[@danielceo4694]

Hello there! So glad you're enjoying this music! The Beatles are my favorite band of all time! Zeppelin ranks right up there for me too, but I'll always remember my dad playing his Beatles records for me and growing up listening to their music-so they'll always be first and best for me. Yeah, musically this is absolutely brilliant. The Beatles at this point had been validating psychedelic rock music, experimenting more with the forms of rock and pop, introducing new sounds and techniques of music-making, thus thrusting themselves forward in a movement where a lot of musicians at that time were transforming rock music into an art form. Other great examples of the Beatles achieving this new territory of music-as-art includes "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "Tomorrow Never Knows", "A Day In The Life" and "I Am The Walrus". In fact the whole album of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is a work of art. Next, to answer your question, Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army home for orphans, located in Liverpool, England (the city where The Beatles grew up). There was a garden in the back of the property where John Lennon and his childhood friends used to hang out when they were kids. You're right, that was John singing. At this point in time, even though there were many great things happening and the band had been reaching unprecedented levels of success, Lennon was feeling alienated, disconnected from everything. In this song he's yearning for simpler times, like when he used to hang out and play at Strawberry Field. The b-side of this song, "Penny Lane", is Sir Paul McCartney's reminiscences of the downtown area of Liverpool and is every bit as brilliant. Love you! Can't wait for your next reaction!

[@danielvolk237]

Penny Lane was the A side and SFF was the B side. Penny Lane rose to #1 while SFF could only get to #8. Still pretty good for double-sided 45. Which was a rarity back then.

That's Lennon alright.😁 And Jayy it's perfectly OK to pause because that may keep it from getting blocked. It seems to work with others trying to keep Beatles videos up. And judging by your reaction you must do the trippy Beatles song that started the kinda psychedelic mid-period albums like the one just you did. It's called "Tomorrow Never Knows" off the Revolver album. That is a must! More John Lennon singing really interesting music and George Martin's special effect work like Strawberry Fields. Oh yes Jayy! You must do that one when you do another Beatles, because I (we here in internetland) would love see your reaction to that! 😎👍

[@nigellangridge1975]

One song spliced from two different cuts of the same song. One slower and mellow and the second edited on at the “GOING” at the start of the second chorus... different keys and tempos, and the LEGENDARY producer George Martin and his team controlled tape speeds to get them to match... You have just listened to one of the greatest pieces of REAL music created that was manipulated by voltage control, tape treatment and talent... no computers, no autotune. GENIUS!

This is the genius of John Lennon, there will never be another. This song took 55 hours to record which is still a record to this day. They didn't have the technology in late 66 that we have today. This was recorded on a 4 track.tape machine. This song along with Paul's Penny Lane were to be on The Sgt Pepper Lol but never made because their record label was pressuring their producer for a single and that's a shame. You should do Penny Lane next it's only right. They made great quality color videos to promote both of these songs which you can pull up and play. You will love Penny Lane.

@@Hessulo Correct, John's my guy but in his last big interview with Playboy magazine right before his death that he felt that Paul would sometimes try too sabotage his songs. He was not happy with this song and was very critical about Paul with "Across The Universe" I don't know about all of that. I think it was maybe just an insecurity with John. I know of four different variations of "Across The Universe" and they're all good.

Did you catch the 'phantom voice' near the very end that sounds like someone says "I buried paul"? Which started the whole myth that Paul was really dead and replaced with a look-alike. There are other references to this myth as well such as Paul holding a cigarette while walking barefoot across the street on the cover of Abbey Road and a Volkswagen Beetle with the tag # that says '28 if, means he would have been 28 years old at that time 'if' he was alive. Another reference is in the song "Glass Onion" where the vocals say "the walrus was paul".....creepy stuff!!!

This is definitely Lennon. He's got sort of a scratchy, raspy quality to his voice, where McCartney's voice is smoother and fuller. I'm not criticizing John Lennon's singing, because I like a lot of his songs. It's simply a way of distinguishing between the two.

There is a conspiracy theory that Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike, but The Beatles then inexplicably left many hints in their music and album covers. The theory itself is absurd, but there is quite a bit of supposed evidence. I like to think it's the greatest practical joke ever, conceived of and perpetrated by The Beatles, and that when the last Beatle dies we will be told the truth.

The left/right dynamic you’re hearing is because of the way they used to record back in the day on just a handful of tracks and pan certain instruments hard left, hard right, or center. The intent is to really surround the listener with the experience of the band instruments

[@DrPaul-xf4no]

@THE JAYY SHOW the only one signing in this song was John.. if you listen very close in the second stanza I believe, the tape was spliced from a previous take and matched to the pitch of the recording we here on the album today... As for the different sounds coming in one side but other noises in the opposite side, that was intentional.. back then everything was mono and so it sounded different then stereo which is obviously most used today.. it was the Beatles using specific affects to have fun with the listener and make them think. 😊 At the end of this if you listen super close you'll hear what sounds like "I buried Paul"... Also a trick to play with the listener.. it was likely John saying "cranberry sauce" but he used an affect on his voice to slow it down and make it sound different. "Strawberry fields" and "a day in the life" and "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" along with probably anything on the Sgt. Peppers album were recorded similarly to this style 😊

It was there that he wrote most of SFF. The Beatles returned to the recording studio on Nov 26th, tackling Johns SFF. The lads spent 45 hours completing the song. (which is actually 2 separate versions, edited together at the 1:00 minute mark) Far and away the most time they had spent on the recording of any single song. Love your reaction JAYY.

From 1965 onward, Lennon's songs deserved the liner-note lyrics - which the albums contained mostly although this album was months after this single was released. Lennon was having too much fun with lyrics to miss them. At the very end, a lot of folks hear "I buried Paul"...

If you want to see them working on what's become a classic track, watch the official video of "Hey Bulldog." Its absolute magic.

A Google search would reveal that Strawberry Field is, in fact, a real place. It's an orphanage in Liverpool. Although there is also one that is a 2.5-acre, landscaped section in New York City's Central Park named after the Strawberry Field in the song, which is dedicated to the memory of John Lennon. This song, and several others of this era, were informed in many ways by John Lennon's use of hallucinogenic drugs (LSD, mainly) during this period of their career. It's no coincidence that much of the Beatles' music on this album could be justifiably described as "trippy." Also, if you listen closely to the very end fade-out of the song, you will hear John's voice say, "I buried Paul." This passage was referenced, along with many others in various different Beatles songs, as evidence of a notion that Paul McCartney was actually dead, and that a replacement member of the band had been playing on the last several albums (and would continue to do so...until today). Google the whole "Paul is dead" thing. It was an interesting side-circus to the Beatles' phenomenon during this era of the '60s going forward. It goes to prove that there's always going to be a segment of the population that has entirely too much free time on their hands.

Wow. Your interpretation of the lyrics is spot on. Well done, Jayy! I never would of got that, even though I've heard this song for decades. I always thought it was nonsense or maybe about a drug trip.

Regardless of how it sounds in stereo headphones, it was no less remarkable the first time we heard it on AM radio. In mono, of course. Isn't it interesting that while the Beatles are known as a group who, individually, play lead guitar (Lennon), rhythm guitar (Harrison), bass guitar (McCartney), and drums (Starr), most of their biggest hits, especially from the second half of their career as a group, utilized a creative blend of guitars and orchestral instruments of all different types. This is another thing that set the Beatles apart from so many other groups of their era...and today. Genius.

This song is a sound experience on a headset.

Eleanor Rigby is my favourite. Their catalog is so varied. Most everything good. 👍😊✌️

It is John Lennon who sings and also wrote the song.
